Formed in 2002 by guitarist, main-songwriter, and vocalist Simon Berglund along with axeman Emil Nyström (both were only 15 years old at that time) ZONARIA have outgrown their local underground status with the debut album “Infamy And The Breed” (Pivotal Recordings, 2007) and gained Europe-wide attention due to tours with, Marduk, Pain, Vader, Dark Funeral, Satyricon and many more. With influences ranging from Hypocrisy over Dimmu Borgir to Arch Enemy, ZONARIA’s misanthropic mix of brutal riffs, melodic harmonies, maniacal drumming, and ominous synth lines was well received within the metal community and the band succeeded to shape their own, unique sound. Now with three full-length albums released and over 200 live-performances Zonaria has become a household name for many fans of the darker regions of melodic death metal.
